Recruit & onboard
Control the recruitment process
End-to-end recruiting functionality to help you attract, screen and onboard volunteers. Improve conversion rates and reduce the time volunteers spend between applying for opportunities and being placed within your organisation. Assemble lets you automate what’s repetitive and create powerful automations to save precious time. Triggers and features like integrated reference checks accelerate this part of the process, making vetting and screening applicants fast, inexpensive and easy.
- Sign-up: Accept applications through your website. Our customisable sign-up forms are populated automatically after an opportunity is published, no coding or IT team is required.
- Custom workflows: Whether it’s a basic or complex opportunity you’re advertising, adjust it so applicants filter straight through to selection or create extra layers for a role that may need a little more screening.
- Pipeline: Your team can see - at a glance - where an applicant is, at any time in the process. A snapshot of latest activities lets you see all emails, touchpoints, appointments or tasks associated with a given applicant.
Customisation
Make Assemble your own
Assemble is designed to be flexible, because no two organisations are exactly alike. Streamline your workflow and sync volunteer data with our API integration – Assemble works well with third-party products like CRM systems; we sit alongside your existing software.
Assemble also comes equipped with custom administration capabilities that let you control user permissions, create custom workflows and set up extra security measures. Make sure that sensitive organisation data stays in the right hands with our intuitive controls and grant permissions based on what actions users can carry out.
Measure impact
Come to a better understanding
Seamlessly capture and report KPI’s and measure the ongoing impact your volunteers are having. Using our reports, you can find out where the majority of your recruiting effort is spent. Uncover the bottlenecks in your recruiting pipeline and see where applicants are getting stuck and how you can improve. Users are also able to search and track performance and easily export reports in a clean, easy to read format.
Compliance
Your volunteer data is safe and secure with us
Protecting data is as important to us, as it is to you. The regulatory landscape is changing and we built Assemble with that in mind. Legislation like GDPR is putting increasing pressure on organisations, we're here to help put you at ease. As well as being a trusted supplier to government via The Digital Marketplace, Assemble holds an ISO 27001:2013 certification - the international standard for information security.

Empowering volunteers to do more
Assemble Enterprise really gives us peace of mind. It provides us with the flexibility we need to manage our volunteers at scale. Having several management layers within the organisation, the ability to customise user permissions was crucial for us.
I really couldn't do without the recruitment tools now - they are worth their weight in gold!
It just makes recruitment so much easier and with a standardised approach across the Society, our Volunteer Coordinators love it too. The simplicity of being able to generate opportunities independently, but with full access to our role profiles and the comfort that nothing will get missed throughout the application process, has been game changing.
The average time to clear a volunteer has been reduced from a month to 2 days
Since using the volunteer management software, volunteers feel more connected to the wider organisation. They are able to keep up to date with what is happening within our charity through the news pages and can share or accept invites to our meetings for all staff and volunteers.
Volunteers now experience a swift and seamless recruitment process
Prior to Assemble, the foundation’s recruitment process involved volunteers applying online via email. Whilst this worked in the short term, fielding manual replies, keeping track of the status of applicants and ensuring that data was managed compliantly began to get harder as the numbers grew. Being able to create opportunities on the website through Assemble brought an amount of simplicity and consistency to this process.
